Preface!
We suffer so
much with diseases, complications, and disorders, when the one, affordable
source of treatment, and prevention of diseases is freely available to us
everyday, food. This book will advise
me on what foods to eat, and which ones not to eat, in order to cure, and or
avoid various diseases.
It was
said first and best in the 4th century BC by the Father of Medicine,
Imhotep:
‘Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy
food.’
It is just as true today as it was then! So
before I even think about that next fad diet I heard about on TV or go back to
the doctor asking for this and that, I will take note of what I am feeding
myself. When I really understand why the right food is not just good for me,
but also that it is the best medicine, my life will change. Indeed, for most
diseases, including cancer and HIV/AIDS,
‘Food is the first medicine -- and often the only medicine.’ The Luo of
Kenya say,
‘cheimo yath’
meaning
food is medicine.
Indeed,
the main cause of disease, and the main cure
for disease, is food.
No one needs to tell me the importance of eating
right. I know that sugar, fried, fatty, white flour, and processed foods
provide little or no nutritional value, and are not healthy. We
truly ‘are what we eat.’ Food is not only the fuels that give us energy
and provides nutrition, but can actually help to prevent disease.
The following list takes into account a
food's healing potency, practicality of consumption, availability, and proven
effectiveness. Although I have only listed few, there are plenty more out there
for me to discover.
So what should I eat?
